Amazing!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have made cranberry sauce before it it never tasted right. We had friends over for dinner last night, and we all could not... get enough of it. My daughter, who never eats cranberry sauce, could not stop saying how fantastic this was. This dish tasted even better the next day. I have already been asked for this recipe from our friends. This was a home run!!Read more

Simply the best!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is by far the best cranberry sauce recipe I have ever come across, and is now a staple in our Thanksgiving dinner. It... was a hit with everybody, including my girlfriend, who until trying this sauce had hated cranberries. I can never go back to the canned sauce after making this, this is just too good! I would also recommend buying the 50ml (airplane sized) bottle of Grand Marnier if price is an issue for you, its just the right size. Cointreau also works great if you can't find Grand Marnier. Thanks Paula and Wayne!Read more

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This cranberry sauce was awesome. I've always wanted to make homemade cranberry, but never tried. This year I gave this... recipe a try and everyone loved, even my picky sister. I will definitely make this again for Christmas. My husband absolutely loved it. In planning my menu for Christmas he made sure that I included this sauce. I didn't use the Grand Marnier, too pricy, so I used the juice of two oranges. Read more

Really, really yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is very easy to make, and will be a huge hit. I don't even like cranberry sauce, and I like this one. I just made it... for Thanksgiving, and everyone raved. I had to print out about a dozen copies of the recipe. Do trust what the other reviewers said, and let it set up before you worry about its not being sweet enough. It will be sweet and good. Just give it time. I made it the night before, and it was wonderful by the Thanksgiving meal.Read more
